▲ Imagine if the genders were reversed: "I care less about the male-female ratio," said Director of Admissions Dan Meyer at DePauw, where the male to female ratio on campus is now 43 percent male to 57 percent female. http://www.thedepauw.com/campus-gender-ratio-leans-further-toward-women-1.2141917 Imagine if someone made this comment about the male-female ratio in engineering or the sciences.
▲A proposed Maryland law would allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at four-year colleges and universities in Maryland, if they complete two years at a community college and show that their parents paid state income taxes for three years. The Maryland House has included a requirement that male students register with Selective Service, or the draft, in order to be eligible. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/alcohol-tax-horse-track-money-still-pending-on-md-general-assemblys-final-day-monday/2011/04/10/AFFWH6ED_story.html That, of course, is typical of laws that forbid benefits to males, and only males, who fail to register for selective service.
▲"A recent New York Times Magazine article about the challenges that a female teen star (Nickelodeon's Miranda Cosgrove) faces as she grows into adulthood struck Lux Alptraum more for what it didn't say: Why don't we worry about the boys as well?" http://www.newser.com/story/115282/shouldnt-we-worry-about-male-teen-stars-too.html A thousand articles expressing concern for boys won't change society's cavalier attitude toward them.
▲“It’s incredible. If someone wrote something like that about women or Jews, nobody would accept that. But it’s written about men, so that’s okay,” says Gilles Tremblay, professor of men’s studies at Laval University regarding books that declare women can train their men like dogs. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/relationships/love/dating/train-your-man-like-your-dog-books-recommend/article1946577/
▲Journalist Tara Sullivan of the Bergen Record was denied entry to The Master's locker room on Sunday, after a female security guard told her that women were not allowed into the men's locker room. http://www.businessinsider.com/female-reporter-banned-from-masters-locker-room-2011-4#ixzz1JDmVcbkL This, of course, has caused a conniption among the progressive press. Which raises the question: are male reporters permitted to gawk at female athletes undressing? Guess again. But, you see, female reporters are "professionals" who are not interested in peni or scrota, unlike the sex-crazed males who pretend they want to get a story in the women's locker rooms. Remember the female reporter covering the Dodgers' locker room who wrote this? "Just then, Shawn Green emerges from the showers, rubbing a towel on his head and wearing only a towel. Three millimeters thick of terry cloth is separating Green's goodies from my life's most embarrassing moment. I really didn't have that much time to think about it before Green whipped off the towel and began to get dressed. Holy &#$@!!! I'm going to need to see a chiropractor for the whiplash I gave myself. I turned away to not see most of the goods, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I saw Greenie's buns, le toosh, el booty. Catch my drift? I don't know what took me off guard more: The way it happened or the fact that it was Shawn Green, who I think is just the cutest thing..." http://www.lukeford.net/profiles/profiles/patti_shea.htm

I, a woman, have also been victimized by double standards myself. A while back, I had someone who I thought was my friend turn right around, accuse me of crimes I didn't commit and try to get law enforcement to harass me. She tried to get another sudent expelled from college over sexual harassment. I later found out that she lied about being raped and abused (which were the stories she told me to get sympathy and help from me.) This, of course, along with the usual insults and lies told about me that are wont to come from such people.
When I sought support for the abuses I endured, I was told that I had no right to judge her because I "don't know what her motivations are" and that by judging her, I was oppressing women and hurting her feelings. They told me that it wasn't that bad and that I need to just let it go.
I'm sorry, but a restraining order and a life on the sex offender registry ARE that bad. And if your motivations cause you to intentionally destory another person's life with lies and exploit real victims, then I don't give a damn what they are.
Thankfully, everyone thinks she's a loony so if I avoid her, nothing should happen to me.
I hate gender feminists with a deep and bitter and I used to be one.
I wouldn't mind gender studies in college if they actually had unbiased scholarship about men and women and how the interact across times and cultures. Isn't that what any humanities class should be about?
But no, it's Feminazi Camp paid for us, the taxpayers. That's right, we're paying to be told what scum we are.
Sounds like you've proved the elusive and oppressive
Female Gaze Theory.
Adrianna, your kind of story is one of the reasons we include "women" in the subtitle of this blog. While men and boys are the predominant victims of such crimes, that's small consolation to women who are falsely accused, and our blog wanted to put out a "welcome sign" to let women know that politicizing these crimes hurts women, too.
Achivist, i love the art icon for this post!!
I have heard of these things too (like what Adrianna mentioned).
The toxic women will turn very quickly on other women if they do not support the same warped causes - like backing up a false sexual harassment claim...
"A thousand articles expressing concern for boys won't change society's cavalier attitude toward them."
I disagree; the blogosphere has done much to get the word out that men are changing and expect equality. My own daughter and many other young females I know are all for an end to the all-male draft, for example.
Maybe I was too pessimistic, Eric.
Have any male sports reporters attempted entry into female athletes locker rooms after a big sporting event?
There's a good test of true equality.
